A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Published in USA The Great Divide: Campaign Media in the American Mind Samuel A. Stouffer Professor of Political Science and Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is also Director of the Institute for the Study of Citizens and Politics in the Annenberg Public Policy Center. His publications include Population-based Survey Experiments (2011), Hearing the Other Side: Deliberative versus Participatory Democracy (2006), Impersonal Influence: How Perceptions of Mass Collectives Affect Political Attitudes (1998), as well as many journal articles on the impact of media on American politics. As a scholar of media and politics, I am frequently asked to participate in media commentary during election years. Although I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of academic outreach to the larger world, I suspect that this is my least favorite part of my job. Media and politics about which I am writing are both wide and deep. They converge around my relative naiveté in understanding the sheer power of the monster. When I take part in a radio call-in program or appear on an election-night television broadcast, then I, too, become part of the monster, wielding its incredible power while simultaneously denying its very existence. While both the public and academics agree that media have influence in elections, the scales on which these two entities believe media matter suggest an enormous chasm. Public perceptions of the power of media in elections, and the academic evidence of its influence, could not be further apart.

Biographie de l'auteur :

I characterize my educational background as I am trying to speculate to be as understanding as possible; I wasn’t pro-continuing education at all, I was pro-reality of the business world out there, “It turned out the more I separated myself from it the more attached and dedicated I became to the fact that one's educational background builds his future regardless of where he lives or what he does; with that in mind I've got a double major in computer science and applied mathematics and political science while at the same time I've successfully completed my MBA to be able to recognize what was unfolding in the reality of the business world; It was the most phenomenal accomplishment I have done to be able to change myself that much from a political science background to a business success; For nearly two and a half decades, I have been studying and at the end in the 2011 I emerged as one of the foremost academic characters. I have authored several books -- on topics ranging from the issues we are facing in today's US politics to shop for new marketing avenues and to the networking and programming which is what I've been doing throughout my professional career -- and had a high profile perch as host of Georgetown University PR. During that, I changed its news platform from a plain university who's who to the coverage of the US current political and business affairs
